Heswall, German Restaurant Guide

2021 Review: Sibling to Manchester’s popular Albert’s Schloss, this ‘bohemian bier halle and cook haus’ replaces The Hub Alehouse. It’s unlikely to be a hugely foodie destination, but – if we’re reading the runes correctly – it should be a good laugh with hearty scoff (schnitzel, burgers, raclette) to soak up some fine brews.

2023 Review: This Manchester-based mock-Bavarian concept already has a small Liverpool outpost (Albert’s Schenke), but a full-sized ‘Schloss’ is set to open in late 2022; Roy Ellis of Mission Mars says he plans to spend £3m on a complete refurbishment of a former food market at Radiant House. The art-deco building was formerly home to The Liverpool Gas Company and has been empty since 2019.
